[jQuery] Re: Plugin to let the user draw rectangles

Hi Richard,

Could you explain a little bit about these lines (esp. the appendTo
and distance)

$.extend($.ui.boxer, {
defaults: $.extend({}, $.ui.mouse.defaults, {
appendTo: 'body',
distance: 0
})
});

I put the code to my page and the after I released the mouse, the
orange box is not at the position I started drawing. Moreover, the x
and y are undefined, but the width and height seem correct.

Thank you very much.
